    - Videos shutting down Power Point Ever since I picked up my new Dell M1210 laptop with Vista Home, I have had nothing but problems with Power Point 2007. My main use for the laptop is doing presentations. Biggest challenge is imbedded videos. WMF files will error out and shut down the PPT. Other types will tend to play audio with no picture. I have loaded new codecs, tried various support lines. No one has had a solution. Any ideas?? (By the way, I can play all of the videos outside of power point with no problem) Tag: Placeholders Tag: 386714

    - PowerPoint 2003 Crashing I'm trying to add narration to a slide show with PowerPoint 2003. It is installed on a computer that is used for audio and video editing, so the machine is well tuned, up-to-date, and virus and spyware free. When I click on Record Narration and Set Microphone Level, PPT crashes with "Microsoft Office PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Thinking that there may be a conflict with an audio driver or codec, I tried the same thing in a different computer, also well maintained and quite clean. The same error pops up. One computer is a true blue IBM. The other is a completely different motherboard. PPT seems to be working well in every other function I've tried. Both computers are Windows XP SP2 with all updates. One computer has a Digital Audio Labs CardDeluxe sound card. The other one has an M-Audio DIO-2496. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Tag: Placeholders Tag: 386692

    - Including Audio Files Today I sat through a PPT 2003 presentation during which there was narration from start to finish. When the narrator said, "Let's look at the next slide,", the next slide automagically appeared. I have read several web sites and the PPT help, but I am still not clear how this presentation was created. My question is, does PPT treat narration audio different from embedded or linked audio? The slides were not equally spaced. The audio of slide one was a minute. The audio of slide two was 30 seconds. The audio of slide three was two minutes. What I would like to do is to have a (wave) sound file play all through the presentation, and have the slides change at pre-selected points during the audio file, as above. I do not want to have to record the narration in real time. I know how to add an audio file to each slide, but that's not what I want to do. I just want to play the audio and manually trigger the slides at the appropriate time and have PPT remember the timings. How do I do that? Tag: Placeholders Tag: 386655

    - Create a Print Button on Slide with VBA from Access Hi, I have some VBA in an Access 2003 database that produces a slide and displays data from a table in a presentation. It is working well. I have been asked if it is possible to put a print button on the last slide and when clicked, all the slides would be printed. I have the code below that puts a custom action button onto my last slide. I don't know how to get it to print when the button is clicked. I understand that "Print" refers to a macro that would be in the PowerPoint VBA but this VBA is running from Access, creating the presentation on the fly. So how can I get that button to print the slides in the presentation currently being displayed? Many thanks Anthony My code: ********** Set PrintButton = EndSlide.Shapes.AddShape(125, 340, 400, 30, 15) EndSlide.Shapes.PrintButton.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Action = ppActionRunMacro EndSlide.Shapes.PrintButton.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Run = "Print" Is this the correct code below to print all the slides? *********************************************************** PPPres.PrintOptions.OutputType = 1 PPPres.PrintOut -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/powerpoint/200805/1 Tag: Placeholders Tag: 386616

    - swf in powerpoint 2003 problems My girlfriend does marketing and she wants to put a flash file in her powerpoint for her boss. we can do the whole insert a shockwave flash object and point it to the swf but it doesn't work right. The thing is she got this flash file from someone else in the company. You're supposed to run the exe and it plays the flash content. There's a basic background and a table of links on the left. As you click on the links, the content in the right changes. All while this happens a series of pictures cycles at the top. Now, outside of powerpoint, if you run the swf file, it will only work correctly if the "assets" folder is in the same folder as the swf file. If you pull that assets folder out of the folder with the swf, it only shows the background. None of the content loads. That being said, is there a way in powerpoint to add the swf AND have it pull the content from the assets folder or is it not working because of how it's set up as the .exe package? She can call the .exe as a hyperlink in the document too, but then there's an annoying message saying some files can harm...blah blah blah, are you sure. Not too professional for a presentation in my opinion. is there anything we can do, or does this flash project need to be created a different way to play properly in powerpoint? I appreciate the help. Joe Tag: Placeholders Tag: 386605

    - Audio setup in PPT 2007 Using PPT 2007 in XP home for the first time (used PPT 97 previously) to create a birthday montage. I have a few .wav files to include, and I want each to span over a specified number of slides. I'm using Rehearse Timings which I believed would allow me to set the exact number of seconds the clip played per individual slide, and then transition automatically to the next slide. But when you play the slideshow, the slides don't transition at all. (this will be burned onto CD and connected via laptop to be viewed on a TV so it HAS to transition automatically). To add the file, I did Sound - Sound from File. I've tried every possible setting and it still doesn't transition. I don't remember having this problem in PPT 97, but then I don't think that had the Rehearse Timings feature. PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU!! Tag: Placeholders Tag: 386543
